These announcers just said that if E Mich continues to pick and roll, they could get back in this. Huh?

They can pick and roll to 40 points. 

Eastern's entire offense is Thompson and Minnie. Let's keep playing good D

Ball up 16, thrashing Toledo at home. 10 left. 

The Bulls close out this 4 games road stretch against the disappointing zone oriented EMU. 

See you all there in blue. Go UB.

Will be there! We should be able to out noise them like we did at SU. 

Down to #20, and that's where we should be ranked.

Crazy enough, I still feel like we played one of our better games of the year tonight. Most of those Howard shots were highly contested. I'm speechless by that performance. Perkins and Graves hurt us pretty badly and our FT are sub-par, but otherwise we were very good. I'm proud of these guys. Let's plow the MAC.

Perkins was unfathomably bad. 

He was blocked 4 times, shot 1-9 and couldn't contain on defense.

At least Harris seems right? 

Shut down Markus Howard, keep him under 20 and you win.

They aren't going 10-8 in conference with a full roster. If they go 13-0 OOC, and say, 14-4 in conference, they would still have a high chance at an at-large.

No one would think that I'm just stating what Oats is saying on national TV and podcasts. He feels his team will be around 15-3. But is weirdly talking about this Marquette game.

I am sick of hearing how we supposedly have any kind of seed or at-large bid "locked up" right now.  Right now, we haven't done -bleep-.  The job is done when it's done, we're there when we're actually there.  And right now, not even mid season, we aren't anywhere for real.  There are still plenty of skeptics just waiting to say "I told you so" about UB (who were severely disappointed after Tuesday's game).  The job wasn't done at halftime in Detroit a few weeks ago, it wasn't done halfway through the second half in 2005, it's sure as heck not locked up before Christmas in 2018-19.

I mean I agree. 

It doesn't matter if they go 13-0 in OOC if they go 10-8 in conference. 

Oats has been preparing us for a loss and to not get down on the team. He's pretty confident his team goes 12-1 and 15-3 and 27-4 entering Cleveland. 

Marquette is house money to the UB Bulls. Win, and your top 10 lose and you probably don't drop a ton. 

It's weird because even Oats was on radio shows and podcasts alluding to a "loss". I think he's trying his best to keep fans in check that its nearly impossible to go 13-0 with your OOC schedule. I'm not sure how many times now that he's stated 12-1 is enough to get it done. 

Call the ticket office. They only sell certain ones online for some weird reason. 

An awesome look into Nate Oats and his playbook and philosophy.

I think with one of the worst and most crushing collapses in our history might have something to do with it, and because UB/Troy isn't really that interesting until Saturday. 

That and UB BB is doing really good and has a big Tuesday/Friday stretch. 

Where we all sitting??? GA UB Bench?

They use this now. 

I believe it will break any ties in the at-large process.

This might be a "more their style" game. 

On ball/off ball defend Howard like we did Battle. Double Howard all game with our ferocious guard play. 

 Let the Hauser forwards get theirs. They really don't have scorers beyond those three, a similar approach to last night. They score like  6 bench points per game. 

I'd assume he's moved on? We offered him in the summer and we've since offered Quinton Jackson, who'd literally be competing for that same spot. 

As of November, I don't think Buffalo was on his final considerations.

Those guys want coach Oats so bad once JB retires.
